Status Updates From Fünf Viertel einer Orange

i genuinely dont know what to expect from this book

Finally getting some substantial reveals, but even still, I’m having trouble getting into it—probably just tired so not giving it a fair shot.

I am surprised at how I think Fran is an interesting character and am not infuriated by her; she’s naive and stubborn and has an unhealthy obsession with an older man, but it works as the story of a girl growing up and piecing together the fuckedupness of the world

I appreciate Fram’s kid perspective: eagerness for approval, sense of isolation/being the “ugly duckling” of her siblings.

The present drama over the history is a bit eh—not good, but not bad either.
